It is very common to use ACK in social contexts as well if you work in IT I have found. Like “had a meeting about that issue, awaiting ACK from John”

That was part of X right? Not jusy KDE. And a lot of wayland stuff also has it.

I think this has existed as an intentional goal for a long time, albeit from another point of view. I’m thinking of like the piracy days of early 2000, then there was talk about how to lock down devices to prevent any sort of copying of media. The discussion sort of died when Spotify came. But I’m worrying that this development will trigger a reemergence of such a goal. As your self built computer will be more and more expensive, a new possibilty may open up to sell prebuilts that are more locked down. Similarly to how Android is moving from a more open device to a locked down one. HDMI forum locking down their protocols. This may become reality for your general purpose computer. Companies controlling compute and media streaming have a similar motive here, if they do set their mind to it to have this as a fully intentional goal… sigh

There is literally such a lemmy community, but it is not much of an actual community of people over there. From what I’ve read it is more or less one person who bans anyone who challenge their critique.

Shit, the linuxsucks community is gonna go wild over this!

I feel like making ’90s-style t-shirts with ‘fix this code’ on the front and ‘this shirt is a munition’ on the back.”

This must be a reference to something specific… Anyone knows?

Julia and Mathematica

Setup your ssh config to use a proxy command which uses netcat to knock on the ports. Ansible will work with that.

I suppose it is a very effective approach to attack a lot of IT infrastructure. Like how much CI and build systems rely on you being able to pull an ubuntu image and run some apt on it. You halt build systems, cloud deployment, and probably much more.

25 April (25 aprile [ˌventiˈtʃiŋkwe aˈpriːle]) is a national holiday in Italy that commemorates the liberation of Italy from Nazi German occupation and Fascist collaborationism (Italian Social Republic), during the final phase of World War II.

Preferrable way less outside of the sauna.

That’s how I like my showers sauna

Ah, thanks, that makes sense

What is the sequence suppose to illustrate?

Shit, I’m still waiting for the day macos (I assume that is what we are actually talking about here) is usable.

Ok. What exactly is not working with the network? Are you on wired or wireless? If you do run ip a, does your interfaces show up?

Another thing to look at is journalctl -b. Look for errors, lines in red, anything about the network. If you can roll back to a functioning boot (or run journalctl -b -1 should show the previous boot) and compare to that is probably a good idea, journald (displayed by that command) may contain errors that are not relevant, so comparing to a functioning boot may be good.

Also, depending on how old your computer it, there may be another hdmi output which uses the GPU integrated to your CPU. If that is the case, you could switch to it if the nvidia card stops working just to troubleshoot, take a look at journalctl -b and look for errors again. If the screen just goes black, and does not boot, this may also give you some messages as to why the nvidia graphics is not coming up.

To the menu to the left, there is one item called “secure boot”, and sometimes “fast boot” is there. However, if your computer is booting at all, I’m not sure this is it. But try it, it will not hurt.

GTX 580? Maybe you have to install an older driver, like the 470-series of the driver appears to support it: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/ Ubuntu has a bunch of older series of nvidia driver you can install for this purpose.

That would not explain your networking though. Unless that is also some older hardware too… But, a common thing to do as a new user in linux may be to find posts which answer “how do I install x in ubuntu” and they usually involve editing files under /etc/apt/sources.d/. This can wreck your system in this kind of way, so: have you done that? Or this is pure ubuntu, just regular apt update/upgrade and some apt installs?
